All water heaters, heat pumps and boilers need to be ranked from A (highest efficiency) to G (lowest efficiency). However, there are additional categories (A+, A++ an A+++) which will be used for high-performance products such as heat pumps. There is no labelling for electric heating products but they must reach a minimum ErP rating in order to be ErP-compliant.

What is the new ErP regulation for electric heating products ?

Effective from 1 January 2018, the new ErP regulation aim to optimize energy savings on CE marked products. This regulation will apply to all electric heating products: convectors, extensive heat panel heaters, radiators and bathroom radiators.

ErP regulation is based on a calculation of energy efficiency (Ns). Appliances must reach a minimum required result depending on their installation (fixed or mobile). The energy efficiency calculation is based on two criteria:

Presence of advanced features such as presence/absence detector, remote piloting or open windows detector.

To be ErP-compliant an electric heating product must reach an ErP rating (Ns) of 36% for mobile devices and 38% for fix devices. All Atlantic electric panel heaters are ErP-ready, providing you the best quality, safety and savings.

How will the industry and the market react ?

By imposing a restriction on the power consumption of energy-related products, the ErP Directive will stimulate manufacturers to create more efficient and performant products, which will consume less energy, for lower costs.

In addition, the Directive will exclude from the market all low performance energy-using products that don’t meet the Ecodesign Directive requirements.

What does Atlantic have to offer?

At Atlantic, we welcome and actively support the new ErP regulation. As an expert in water heating and an innovative company who owns several patented technologies, we understand the importance of improving the energy-related products energy efficiency and global performance. That’s why all Atlantic water heaters, heat pumps and solar water heaters are already ErP-ready!

Moreover, Atlantic is already prepared for the future ErP requirements on electric heating with the same dedication it showed for the previous ErP requirements on heat pumps and water heating solutions.

What are the benefits of the ErP regulation?

Making ErP-compliant products and constantly working on quality and efficiency improvement, Atlantic allows its end-users and partners to benefit from the new European directive.
